Brief description
This herpetofaunal search data package for the Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network comprises herpetofaunal survey data recorded along permanent 100 m transects. Up until December 2010, pitfall traps were used to capture small reptiles and frogs; from 2011, sites were surveyed for reptiles and frogs using artificial substrates (tiles, tins, and wooden sleepers), and by performing time-controlled active searches. The plot network was established in 2002 in Booderee National Park in the Jervis Bay Territory, south-eastern Australia. The study location is a floristically diverse area in which fire history has been well-documented over several decades. The plot network’s objectives involve quantifying the inter-relationships between natural disturbance and/or management intervention (including weed and feral animal control and prescribed burning) and the reciprocal changes in vegetation condition and biodiversity response. This particular study forms part of the collection of data packages from the Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-parkData time period: 2003-04-02 to 2017-12-12
